Setting mini goals - Weight loss target

This weeks weigh in I was at 168.6, solidly in the 160's and it feels fabulous! I am pretty excited to be in "weight class" I haven't seen since High School...ahhhhh feels nice.

At my meeting last week, my leader asked me if I had set a weight watchers goal weight. I told her that my ultimate goal was to be at 144, which would be a total loss of 100 pounds since I started this whole journey in February of 2005, and that would mean a loss of about 25 more pounds.  She said she didn't think I eneded to drop that much more weight (which felt nice I must admit) and so we set a goal weight of 153 pounds. 

This is only as far as weight watchers goes...I still would like to be 144, if not less, before all is said and done.  The significance of the weight wacthers goal just means I will hit goal and hence liftime a bit quicker.  That has the added advantage of weight watchers then being free as long as I can stay withing 2 pounds of 153 (I can go under by as much as I need to, but I can't go over).

So this added a nice mini goal for me.  I would like to have reached my Weight Watchers goal weight by the time my wedding dress comes in, in late February. If it comes in early, then I still have February 28 as my target.  That means 15.6 pounds in 11 weeks, about 1.5 pounds a week. I think I can do that! The next post will be my fitness/eating goals to accompish this goal!
